Police release video of Maryland officer holding gun to man's head, leading to 4 convictions
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Prince George's County police have released cellphone video of an officer who held a gun to a man's head, leading to a conviction on four criminal charges.
Officer Jenchesky Santiago was convicted by a judge on Wednesday of two counts of assault, a handgun offense and misconduct in office.
The cellphone video shows Santiago holding a gun to a man's head and ordering him to get back inside a car. Prosecutors say Santiago had accused the man of parking illegally when he had not. No one was injured in the incident, which occurred in Bowie in May 2014.
